One of my goals here at Digital Mom Blog is to bring parents hacks that help make parenting easy – and if it includes technology, yay! TheInstant Pot has quickly become my favorite kitchen technology gadget. It has made meal prep and cooking for our family so much easier. After purchasing the Instant Pot last year, I was on a mission to find recipes that were quick and yummy.

We have 4 kids and 6 mouths to feed. Between work and the kids’ busy schedules – we need our meals done quick and easy. The Instant Pot has done just that.

Texas and Mexican Food as a Staple

We live in Texas and Mexican food is a staple here! We typically eat some type of Tex-Mex at least three times a week. So naturally, when I went looking for what to cook – I want to find the best Mexican instant pot recipes. I found SEVERAL that we regularly use.

BONUS: The Instant Pot is really easy to use. I’ve taught both our 14-year-old and 11-year-old how to cook with it!

Shredded Chicken Taco Meat

One mom hack that I preach, is meal prep. Cook meat ahead of time and use it a variety of ways in meals through out the week. Shredded chicken is one of the meats that we cook up and use a variety of ways.

Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice

A meal that is a family fave is burrito bowls. We use this Cilantro Lime Rice recipe for the base of the bowl. Then we make a Mexican buffet of either shredded chicken or ground beef as the meat. We then put shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa and either black beans or pinto beans and let the kids make their own meal.

Instant Pot Mexican Pinto Beans and Refried Beans

One of my favorite home cooked meals is pinto beans. Add a Mexican flare and hello! I use to cook my pinto beans in the slow cooker, but have since switch to the electric pressure cooker and the results are the same, delish!

This post will also show you how to take your Mexican pinto beans and make them refried beans. Eat these as a main dish or as a side dish. Another great thing with beans is that you can freeze them! That’s right, make these Mexican pinto beans into a freezer meal, don’t forget the corn bread!

The Instant Pot immediately became a staple in our house when we purchased our first one in 2015. Since that time, we have been experimenting and pressure cooking a ton of different recipes for our family. The IP has proven itself time and time again, it’s not just a kitchen appliance that takes up space! We use it a minimum of 3 times a week.
